The Confederation of African Football’s audit and compliance committee has claimed that more than $16m (£12m) of “unrecognised expenses” were not included in official accounts, meaning it should have posted losses of more than $25m (£19m).
A letter sent to members of Caf’s executive committee last Saturday and seen by the Guardian alleges that its review of a report compiled by the external auditors EY had revealed the apparent discrepancy in the accounts for the year ending 30 June 2023.
